4,4′-(2-Ethylhexylidene)diphenol(CAT: L030771), commonly referred to as Bisphenol Z (BPZ), is an organic compound featuring two phenol groups linked by a 2-ethylhexylidene bridge. This structure gives it similar properties to other bisphenols, making it useful in the production of polymers, resins, and plastics. BPZ is employed in manufacturing high-performance polycarbonates and epoxy resins, offering thermal stability and durability. Its branched alkyl group (ethylhexylidene) enhances the flexibility and solubility of the resulting materials, making it a valuable monomer in various industrial applications. Additionally, it can be used in coatings, adhesives, and other polymer-based products that require enhanced mechanical and chemical resistance.
